Photos: Kitsault Resort Ltd. Mining camp, 1925, Alice Arm inlet Lime Creek Silver claims were first staked in 1911 on the east side of the inlet along Lime Creek (today's location of the townsite of Kitsault). The claims were worked during the 1920's and early 1930's. Some rich molybdenite ore was taken out during World War I, but interest was not strong in this odd mineral. The rich deposit of molybdenum in the upper watershed of Lime Creek sat untouched until 1956 when a mining subsidiary of Kennecott Copper Corporation discovered a large deposit of porphyry molybdenum at Widdzech Mountain. In 1979 -1980, Amax of Canada Ltd. built the townsite of Kitsault and opened the Kitsault Molybdenum Mine. It closed in 1983 after 18 months of operations due to low metal prices.

Kitsault Alice Arm town Proposed Kitsault Mine Alice Arm Inlet - V3.2 Kitsault Resort Ltd., 2011 - 3 Introduction Kitsault, British Columbia, Canada, is a Cinderella story. Once described as one of B.C.'s most famous ghost towns, it has risen up again to become 'Heaven on Earth', a proposed modern resort in a spectacular location. Located within the traditional territory of the Nisga'a and the Nass Wildlife Area of the Nisga'a Treaty, eco-sustainability and human well-being are the goals of this revived community. Situated on British Columbia's rugged north coast, Kitsault is found at the head of Alice Arm, the eastern extension of Observatory Inlet. By air, the unincorporated townsite of Kitsault is 140 km northeast of Prince Rupert, 115 km northwest of Terrace, and 850 km north of Vancouver. The border of Alaska is only 35 km west of Kitsault, with the long, narrow Portland Canal forming the boundary between British Columbia and Alaska. Stewart, at the head of the Portland Canal, is 60 km NNW by air from Kitsault over the rugged Coast Mountains and the extensive Cambria Icefield. Kitsault's closest neighbour is the tiny mining village of Alice Arm, 2.5 km NW across the inlet. To the east of Kitsault, an 820 meter high pass through the Boundary Mountain Ranges separates Kitsault from the Nass Valley, 38 km away. The four Nisga'a communities of Gitlakdamix (New Aiyansh), Gitwinksihlkw (Canyon City), Laxgalts'ap (Greenville), and Gingolx (Kincolith) are within 60 km by air from Kitsault. By road, Kitsault is 52 km from Gitlakdamix and 200 km or 3.5 hours north from Terrace via the Nisga'a Highway 113, then a series of Forest Service and private industrial roads into the townsite of Kitsault. The story of Kitsault is the tale of mineral-rich mountains at the edge of North America, rainforests, salmon streams, and an isolated mining company town put into storage then resurrected again. We hope that this book will provide an insight into the spectacular surroundings of this unusual community and an understanding of the unique natural and historical attributes of the region. o o Kitsault, B.C.: Located in Northwestern British Columbia at 55 27.5’N 129 28.5’W - V3.2 Kitsault Resort Ltd., 2011 - 4 Areal View of the Townsite of Kitsault Photo: LandQuest Realty Corp.

  • Marine Recreation in the Desolation Sound Region of British Columbia
    MARINE RECREATION IN THE DESOLATION SOUND REGION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA by William Harold Wolferstan B.Sc., University of British Columbia, 1964 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Geography @ WILLIAM HAROLD WOLFERSTAN 1971 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY December, 1971 Name : William Harold Wolf erstan Degree : Master of Arts Title of Thesis : Marine Recreation in the Desolation Sound Area of British Columbia Examining Committee : Chairman : Mar tin C . Kellman Frank F . Cunningham1 Senior Supervisor Robert Ahrens Director, Parks Planning Branch Department of Recreation and Conservation, British .Columbia ABSTRACT The increase of recreation boating along the British Columbia coast is straining the relationship between the boater and his environment. This thesis describes the nature of this increase, incorporating those qualities of the marine environment which either contribute to or detract from the recreational boating experience. A questionnaire was used to determine the interests and activities of boaters in the Desolation Sound region. From the responses, two major dichotomies became apparent: the relationship between the most frequented areas to those considered the most attractive and the desire for natural wilderness environments as opposed to artificial, service- facility ones. This thesis will also show that the most valued areas are those F- which are the least disturbed. Consequently, future planning must protect the natural environment. Any development, that fails to consider the long term interests of the boater and other resource users, should be curtailed in those areas of greatest recreation value. iii EASY WILDERNESS . Many of us wish we could do it, this 'retreat to nature'.
